Well I hope this helps the OP. I think it's going to help me. I like this video The part about reset & footwork really start at 6:03 if that helps. I think it's important to reset and get in the habit of reset or shuffling slightly after every hit. Speaking form experience, if you hit the...

I would recommend to the OP they go with the traditional penhold grip. Basically what Song David pictured there. I have a video talking penhold grip where I advocate a more cured finger grip at the time. And I still prefer that grip for twiddling but if you're not doing that and you're playing...

Just in case you forget as this is something you might or might not have done with your shakehand rackets but sand those wings. It'll make your penhold blade much, much more comfortable. I like rounding my wings both ends and both sides. this way in whatever orientation you hold it, (i twiddle...

I can't speak highly enough of the Gambler Fire Dragon series. Very nice & afrordable. You can find them at zeropong.com. if you can't do zeropong for some reason, i'd check with gamblertt.com and see if you can call or order from there. The Fire Dragon Touch is very nice. If you want something...

Okay guys here it is. My match with my training partner Ben who beats me 95% of the time and I'd like to change that. So please tell me your general overall impressions or analysis or tell me specific stuff. like "on this point, don't do this. He wins those style of points. etc" Can be broad or...

Some highlights from club on 2/4/18 After a bit here, I'll post a match I had with my training partner and I want your guys feedback to help me work on some things. But need to analyze it myself so I can put together some preliminary thoughts. More on that later. Stay tuned. Until then, here's...

That's your hand sliding the head more down in that natural penhold FH as that's what you're use to. I had the same thing happen when I toyed with the idea of Shakehand in the past. As your penhold brother, I command you to stop this nonsense right now and come back to where your heart is. :p :p

Great tip. I look forward to that video and being left handed, I'll have to keep this in mind. In the meantime, I guess I'll keep working with it. :) Cheers.

Forget the blade. Lets talk about this reverse pendulum serve. :P so in the video you get good looks at it at 10:31 (real time) or 10:44 (slow mo) I made a gif of it at 10:44 here. So I can do this serve but I've always considered my reverse pendulum backspin version to be my weakest...

Like the site. Listened to the podcast. Really enjoy that also just hearing you guys talk TT. Hit over lunch today with a buddy at my club and we've both been trying to work on getting more consistency. So after the podcast today, I focused more on trying to take the ball at the highest point...

weird to have the H3 on the FH in red and Tenergy on the BH in black.

Ran our annual tournament 10 days ago. It went well but I played just average at best. Nothing like putting in a 12 hour day to only play 3 singles matches. ;) Won 1. Lost 2. That day I don't know if it was tournament nerves or being worn down from running around all day from directing the...

Yep. That's our club's go to for replacement nets. Great price and surprisingly really good as far as i can tell.

That BH on the point at 3:19 was amazing. He did play great. Only watched the match one but it seems as though he's hitting a higher % of his BH's in. You can tell he has been putting in the work on his biggest weakness.

My current TT robot finally died so I'm in the market for a table tennis robot. Curious if any of you have some you really like or have tried some of the ones I'm looking at. Here's the criteria that will cut down the list significantly. So I will get this out of the way now. - Must be a 2...

Wouldn't that just mean your rubber gets ever so slightly more stretched? I use rubber cement, which has VOCs to glue my non-tuned rubbers. I probably have used it once before with boost on a rubber I boosted. It's probably fine. But I've only boosted 1 layer before. Ever so slightly domed. I...

Need video or more detail into your intermediate level. That could be a wide range. I have a club buddy who is always looking for more speed in his equipment when he plays with stuff that's plenty fast for anybody else. His problem is his technique and only arm swinging. Not enough body. Not...

tdad. I wouldn't over think this. Your son is 8. He'll probably want something different in a few years anyways. Just get him a solid setup to start playing. A Stiga classic would be fine. I'm huge into Gambler's Fire Pro Dragon series. Affordable and I really like my Fire Dragon Touch. Even...

I'm just going to come out and say it then. That's dumb for any & all German clubs that do this. Players are just screwed constantly tweaking their play & feel between two different ball materials that play a fair amount different. To the OP if this is your situation? I'm sorry. You're screwed...

Best advice I can give you is to STOP playing with celluloid. Everywhere. If someone asks you to play and they want to play celluloid, you might as well say "Why don't we just play with a 38mm ball then?" (joking). But it's the same thing. It's a thing of the past. Seriously just tell them...
